Book One

Viridelle

Called by the whispering wind, Gwyntaf leaves everything familiar behind and sets out to awaken a silent, colourless land. His journey brings him to Viridelle, the Flower Maiden, and together they gather the seeds needed to restore life to the sleeping earth. Joined by loyal friends and guided by the mysterious Canllau, they travel through forests, mountains, snow and storm-darkened waters, where their courage and friendship are repeatedly tested. As hardship and sacrifice shape their path, Viridelle discovers the true importance of her gift and the responsibility it carries. Their journey becomes a timeless tale of friendship, hope and the power of new life to bring colour back into the world.

Book Two Tawel by Kevin M. Plunkett

Book Two

Tawel

Published 1 August

When Tawel discovers an ancient record containing clues to the legendary Mine of Plenty, she leaves everything familiar behind and journeys into the wild places to uncover its secrets. Guided by Oscar ap Cymru, the swiftest of horses, she travels through mist-shrouded valleys, rugged mountains and circles of ancient standing stones, following a trail shaped by forgotten stories and old warnings. Along the way, Tawel encounters the mysterious spirit Methryn, who warns her of the dangers of greed and gives her a glistening stone to guide her onward. As the journey grows more perilous, she begins to understand that the greatest treasure may not be gold or riches, but the wisdom to protect what should never be claimed.
